info: I am maintaining a fork at @jagql/framework

[championswimmer]

Information

Package: https://npmjs.com/@jagql/framework
Repo: https://github.com/jagql/framework

Motivation

I have been using jsonapi-server in my projects for quite some time now.
While I have huge, huge respect for everyone from holidayextras who has worked hard and made this great project possible, I think recently, there has been a bit of slowdown.
There are many features and issues that can be added/fixed, and there are many PRs lying, which the maintainers are not having time to review and update (I can understand there must be other work, holidayextras is a big company, so I am not criticizing).

I have even been contributing a lot of PRs to both jsonapi-server and jsonapi-store-sequelize but I think the speed of things getting updated has been slow

Differences

Differences are noted here
https://github.com/jagql/framework#differences-from-upstream
And in changelog
https://github.com/jagql/framework/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

uuid + autoincrement support

Both uuid and autoincrement is supported (even in foreignkey relations handled properly)
ids can be generated by client or provided by server

Typescript support

https://github.com/jagql/framework/tree/master/types
It has full Typedefinitions, to give 100% autocomplete and type linting support for those who use TS to build nodejs projects

Merged PRs

1. Show pagination for /:resource/:id/:relation #311 pagination for nested resources
2. add bodyParserJsonOpts to apiConfig for setting the limit option #366 body parser options (now merged here too)
3. Bug: fix crud operation detection when using chain handlers #367 crud op detection fix (now merged here too)
4. Expose original express request/response objects to custom handlers #274 expose req, res to handler
5. https://github.com/holidayextras/jsonapi-server sort and filter skipping in handlers
6. Avoid blocking other requests while validating large output #277 async validation - huge perf increase

Other improvements

1. jagql/framework@94a6d0c GrqphQL object type fixed
2. jagql/framework@e4f513d handlers are es6 classes, can be extended
3. jagql/framework@33812c0 fix error code for id not found (was not jsonapi spec compliant earlier)

Roadmap

Things I intend to work on in immediate future

• multi key sorting Sorting by multiple fields #338
• upgrade from Swagger2 to Swagger3 (Open Api v3)
• add 'actions' like user/login kind of paths that can not be 100% represented as json:api

Collaboration

I an assure and promise I will continue to send PRs to this repository to help keep this maintained.
Also if the maintainers want to merge the fork back in this, I would love to help out on that.
The changes are backwards compatible, and it is not hard to upgrade from jsonapi-server to jagql.
If jagql is merged back into this, and speed of development increases I would love that the most.

Many of the PRs I have cherry picked that were unmerged here were from you.
I would like to thank you guys for those PRs ❤️

Thanks for reaching out @championswimmer. I'm going to consult internally about the possibility of handing over the maintenance of the project to you.

I'm split between two worlds. @championswimmer included some interesting features, but the version here has support for mongodb.

As an update I have set up docs for the fork here https://jagql.github.io/docs/
(using a lot of markdown files from this repo itself). It is a bit more accessible and readable than those here
